ARTICLE FOR RECEIVING CIGAR OR CIGARETTE STUBS Filed Dec. 11. 1929 avwwntoz LEON S. BRHCH Patented May 26, 1931 UNITED. STATES PATENT OFFICE LEON S. BEACH, OF EAST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY Application filed December 11, 1929. Serial No. 413,177.

This invention relates to a cigarette snufier and receiver by which cigarettes may be inserted into sockets formed in a part of the device, whereby a draft of air is cut ofi from the lighted end and the stubs are then quickly extinguished, after which the holder hav- 2o ings, which show certain ways in which the invention may be carried into practice.

Figure 1 illustrates a plan view of a receptacle with one holder mounted thereon.

Figure 2 is a part side elevation, and a sectional view on the line 22 of Figure 1, with the receptacle broken away from the front of the holder.

Figure 3 is a view of one type of holder having a .base for supporting the holder, which so base is adapted to fit on a table or in a receptacle.

Figure 4 shows another method of mounting the holder per so on the table or the like.

Figure 5 is a plan view of the holder showing another detail slightly modified.

Figure 6 is a further modified form of holder.

Figure 7 is a side elevation of Figure 6. In the drawings, wherein like numbers views, 1 is a receptac e having a rim 2. holder for the cigarette or cigar stubs is composed of two parts, 3 and 4, the part 3 being composed of a part socket-portion 6 and a handle portion 8, while the part 4 is composed of a part socket-portion 7 and a handle 9. The parts 3 and 4 are pivotally mounted toether by a pivot pin 5. A spring 10 acts Fetween the parts of the handles 8 and 9 to normally force them apart and to force the refer to correspondin parts in the various.

A be laid transversely across the top of the socket portions 6 and 7 together, thereby keeping the socket 15 normally closed.

As shown in Figure 1, a plurality of holders are adapted to have their pivot pins 5 mounted in the holes 11 around the perimeter of the rim 2.

From the above description, it will be seenthat after the socket 15 has become filled with ashes or stubs, and it is desired to drop them into the receptacle 1, which maybe of any desired diameter and depth, pressure on the handle portions 8 and 9 will open the socket 15 and drop the contents thereof into the receptacle.

In the form of holder shown in Figure 5, the parts of the holder, 3 and 4, are fastened together by a pivot pin 5 which has a hole 14 therethrough. When this construction is used, pins are used on the rim 2 in place of the holes 11, and it will then be apparent that the holders may be slipped ofi the pins for the purpose of cleaning and the like. When this form is used, it is preferable to make the bottom of the socketportions flat,

as. shown in Figure 7, so that the holder may be self-supporting.

In Figure 3, the pivot pin has an extension 12 to which is attached a plate 13 which may be of heavy material or weighted, so as to -make the device stable, whether placed on a table or in a receptacle. Otherwise, the holder is similar to the forms previously described.

In Figure 4, the pivot pin 5 has an extension 17 which is fastened to a spring member 16 adapted to be slipped over the edge of the table, such as a card table.

' 'In the forms shown in Figures 6 and 7,, the socket parts 6 and 7 of the holder have rooved flanges 19, so thatthe'cigarette may holder. A one-piece spring 18 has its ends 20 and 21 anchored intermediate the handle and socket portions and closely adjacent the fulcrum edge where the two parts come toether. The spring 18 is so formed that the ottom portion provides a supporting base. which will support the holder. Furthermore, the spring is so formed that the bottom part may be slipped over the edge of a suitable receptacle, thereby supporting the holder on the rim of such receptacle. The spring therefore acts in a double function; that of holding the two parts of the holder together so that the socket 15 1s normally closed, and as a supporting means for the holder. It will be clear from Figure-6 that when pressure is applied to the handle portions 8 and 9, the socket portions 6 and 7 are spread apart as the two parts turn aboutor fulcrum at a point closely adjacent the point where the ends of the springs 20 and 21 are anchored.

It will be apparent that various changes may be made in the details of my inventlon without departingfrom the spirit of my invention or the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

1. A device of the class described, comprising a receptacle, a holder mounted on the outer part of the receptacle and extending toward its center, said holder being composed of two parts pivoted together intermediate their ends, the ortions which extend toward the center of t e receptacle being shaped to form a closed end socket to receive a cigar or cigarette stub, while the other portions are spaced apart to form a handle, and a spring member positioned between said handle portions and normally acting to force them apart to hold the socket closed.

2. A device of the class described, comprising a receptacle, a plurality of pins carried thereby around its outer peripher a holder adapted to be removably mounte on one of said pins,- said holder being composed of two parts pivoted together intermediate their ends, the ortions which extend toward the center of t e receptacle being shaped to form a closed end socket to receive a cigar or cigarette stub, while the other port-ions are spaced apart to form a handle, and a spring member positioned between said handle portions and normally acting to force them apart to hold the socket closed.

3. For a device of the class described, a holder composed of two parts pivoted together on a pin intermediate their ends, said parts forming a closed end socket on one side of the pivot to receive a cigar or cigarette stub, and extending in spaced relation on the other side of the pivot, and means normally acting between said spaced portions to force them apart and the socket portions together, said pin being extended and having a support member attached thereto on the lower side of the holder.

4. For a device of the class described, a holder composed of two parts pivoted toether intermediate their ends, said parts orming a closed end socket on one side of the pivot to receive a cigar or cigarette stub, and extending on the other side of the pivot to form a handle, and means normally acting on the handle portions to hold the socket portions closed together.
